I was told I'm pretty good at sizzle.

Someone should drop a note to Trump that Washington was a winner.

It is so much easier to consequential by destruction. Hitler and Stalin were the most consequential pols in the 20th century.
Easily a 100 million dead between them.

That means to get rid of the "semi-king" presidency and convert to a parliamentary democracy, i.e. a new constitution.

Wale sind intelligent genug, um berechnendes Verhalten zu zeigen. Was dem Wal dabei alles passieren könnte, ist ihm aus eigener Erfahrung wohl kaum bekannt. Das ist nur das Wissen von uns, die das schon alles mal untersucht haben.

...oder vielleicht habe ich die Erfahrung mit den Organen noch nie gemacht, oder der Gezeiten bin ich mir als Tiefseebewohner auch nicht so bewusst.

Bei den Organen würde ich dann hoffen, dass das Wasser nicht zu weit sinkt.

Na ja, wenn ich mir nicht sicher wäre, ob ich zum Atmen wieder hochkäme, würde ich doch lieber oben bleiben.

Wenn man akut nicht mehr atmen kann, rückt sowas in den Hintergrund.

Ach ja, die meisten dieser falschen Weichherzen wissen wohl nicht einmal, das Wale Säuger sind und Lungen haben.
Dabei könnte man das mit der KI so leicht herausfinden.
Na ja, um eine gute Frage zu stellen, muss man eben die Antwort schon halb kennen.

Hat jemand daran gedacht, das der Wal sich absichtlich auf eine Sandbank legt, weil er nicht mehr die Kraft hat, zum Atmen auf und abzutauchen?
Das Ganze ist eine Perversion auf so vielen Ebenen...

DeepL? Es gab einen chinesischen Leser meiner Bücher, der alle 1100 Seiten mit DeepL gelesen hat.

Danke für die Übersetzung!

In Bangkok heat has been reaching 50 deg C for three solid weeks now. Cooling centers have been installed to enable survival.
This is what it looks like when legacy economic interest trumps everything else.
Perhaps the Strait of Hormuz should remain closed.

The main conflict in the book arises from a dramatic reversal of ingrained gender role models, and how it impacts a couple's relationship. I would call it a psychological fantasy with SciFi elements, esp. in the last book of the trilogy. Not so much about science, but an alternate reality.

I might be a fit, or not. My series is about gender issues with a romantic slant. Please advise.

Trump desperately tries to TACO on Iran, but he's like a fish on the hook – they'll tire him out.
How does it feel to not have the cards, Bonespurboy?

If the coalition in Afghanistan had built an army composed of 300,000 Afghan women as opposed to men, the country would be infinitely better off.

To wit:
Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, Erdogan, Orban, Duterte, Xi JinPing, Polpot, Kim Jong-Un etc. etc.
as opposed to:
Merkel, Jacinda Ardern, Sanna Marin, even the fascist Meloni is more benign than Salvini would be.

The world would surely be more peaceful if all leaders were women. That is not to say women aren't capable of maliciousness, but it expresses itself differently. Women's hatred is often derivative, and if not, then more focused on specific individuals. Men's hatred tends to encompass entire groups.

BSKY seems to have problems today.

It needs a constitution-changing majority like in Hungary. Because the much vaunted US constitution is actually at the heart of the problem.

Die Ungarn haben gestern echt brutal zugeschlagen. So wird's was.

Hungarians have understood that only a constitution-changing majority can clean up the mess.
If only the American people were that smart. But stupidity is systemic policy in the US since its inception, the idea that if everyone focusses on their own business, the common good will emerge naturally.

Good enough for government work.

Well, more men have voted for Trump than women...
And women are pulling ahead of men in educational achievement.

Der Spiegel – unless you speak German...

Oh, now the US is participating in the "winning" Iranians' blockade of the strait of Hormuz.

Interesting sociological study: Highly intelligent men have less conservative views than dumb ones (no surprise). The surprise (is it?): such a difference is not found in women!
